\u2013 Hudson [Fred Wills]<\/span> conversation with Claude [Forbes Burnham]<\/span> last night<\/p>\n

Hudson<\/span> said Claude was upset at things Mr. Maxwell [Lawrence \u201cBunny\u201d Mann]<\/span> & people underneath Hudson<\/span> had told him.<\/p>\n

Hudson<\/span> feels Maxwell<\/span> & people under him are now against him & that could be what’s affecting the plane situation.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Large tank coming into port may hold us up 2 extra days.<\/p>\n

\u2013 [Illegible name, could be Julie [Carolyn Layton]<\/span>] wasn’t going to leave til Friday \u2013 who knows now<\/p>\n

\u2013 Tried to get a hold of Hudson,<\/span> but they had a power failure where he is & can’t<\/p>\n

\u2013 Get a hold of Richard [possibly Vibert Mingo]<\/span> & see if he can authorize charter, since Hudson’s<\/span> unavailable & GDF & company want his approval<\/p>\n

Wednesday Traffic<\/p>\n

Sutton [Mervyn Dymally]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 waiting for man from Company to call back about plane<\/p>\n

\u2013 two generators coming in on boat that were on dock<\/p>\n

Larry [Fred Wills]<\/span> yesterday:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Claude [Forbes Burnham]<\/span> was upset with Larry<\/span> when he met the night before, as Maxwell [Lawrence \u201cBunny\u201d Mann]<\/span> & Everest [unknown]<\/span> had talked with him & told him some raw stories on Larry.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Everest<\/span> doesn’t like him (Larry)<\/span> & since Maxwell<\/span> had direct access to Claude \u2013 Everest was going through Maxwell<\/span> to get information on Larry<\/span> to Claude.<\/span> So Larry<\/span> called it conspiracy.<\/p>\n

Re: Ricky’s [Unknown; Possibly Frank Tumminia]<\/span> meeting with Larry<\/span> told Claude. Ricky<\/span> from Bennett [Likely CIA]<\/span> & so Larry<\/span> must be also<\/p>\n

\u2013Said Larry<\/span> did a lot of cardplaying<\/p>\n

and drinking. So when Larry<\/span> saw Claude<\/span> \u2013 he was blasted. Feels that there are still some grave areas.<\/p>\n

If Claude<\/span> from Bennett<\/span> \u2013<\/p>\n

those types of people are devious. Larry<\/span> said Claude<\/span> was from Bennett<\/span> he’d be shocked & upset, but he didn’t think so.<\/p>\n

Thomas [Tim Carter]<\/span> & Ann [Sharon Amos]<\/span> thought it was significant that he would even consider the thought \u2013<\/p>\n

Larry<\/span> said \u2013 reason behind Maxwell<\/span> to [illegible word] doing. This is it’s time of year for people to be moved from posts & they were getting close attention so they wouldn’t be considered for moving \u2013 but very didn’t believe the 2 were interested in his job.<\/p>\n

Told Larry<\/span> he was considered our friend \u2013 our loyalty was with him & was there anything we could do<\/p>\n

to help.<\/p>\n

Thomas<\/span> & Ann<\/span> feel it’s significant if Maxwell<\/span> & Everest [unknown]<\/span> can. Maybe he seems credible \u2013 it could affect things in future.<\/p>\n

Interesting that Everest was doing most of the work on getting the plane for Sutton [Mervyn Dymally]<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Larry<\/span> said last night that Everest<\/span> could have given a lot more authoritative help with the plane, rather than putting it off on Larry,<\/span> saying he could go no further.<\/p>\n

According to Larry, Claude [Forbes Burnham]<\/span> chewed Maxwell<\/span> out last night as he was supposed to go to Trinidad on business & he didn’t. Claude<\/span> made statement the Maxwell<\/span> was out fucking around rather than going to Trinidad.<\/p>\n

Larry<\/span> thinks Maxwell<\/span> is leaving Thursday. That’s what Maxwell<\/span> told Claude.<\/span><\/p>\n

BB-3-i-6<\/p>\n

Thomas<\/span> & Ann<\/span> wondered since there is no extra cost perhaps Ann or someone should go on the plane & meet Sutton<\/span> in Trinidad & come all the way out.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Will know by 11:00 what has become of the new information on charter<\/p>\n

[illegible word] calling now to see what progress had been made<\/p>\n

They’d like to tell all this to Claude [Forbes Burnham]<\/span><\/p>\n

told Larry<\/span> if it would hurt<\/p>\n

as should we formally report about Maxwell [Lawrence \u201cBunny\u201d Mann]<\/span> [illegible word] behind his back.<\/p>\n

Does Larry<\/span> want us to do it<\/p>\n

if at airport then Harry [Mike Prokes]<\/span> meets \u2013 he\u2019ll talk to Oscar [Unknown]<\/span> \u2013 we want<\/p>\n
